This guide focuses on how practitioners and managers in social care can initiate and sustain the participation of adult service users, including older people, in developing social care. Although it has been designed mainly for practitioners and managers in social care, the guide will be useful to everyone involved in promoting service user participation, including people using services and family carers. Service users now play an increasingly important role in efforts to improve social care services. This guide focuses on how practitioners can initiate and sustain the participation of adult service users, in ways that empower service users and reflect a shared commitment to developing social care services in a more democratic way.
